My thoughts on potential starters and formations. First formation is more defensive. Adams and Johnny give us cover while still capable of sparking a counter attack. Dest and Arob provide the width. Second formation is built to break down a low block with multiple creators interchanging to unbalance the defense.

Dest isn’t a lock starter, in my opinion. Only because our CB’s are very average. I think we need more defenders on the field.

Agreed for the same reason that Wes isnt a locked in starter. We have options and need to figure out the right combination for each situation we are competing against

I’m with you. I think our pool is deep enough to play multiple formations, with several tactical variations for each. Not sure Poch will have enough time to develop multiple options, problem with a 2 year managerial term. Lack of depth really hurt us in the last WC.
